What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Bunnacranagh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Bunnacranagh, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies flat grassland as a slightly raised circular area twenty-eight metres across, enclosed by an earthen bank four-point-two metres wide and between one-point-two and one-point-six metres high. Evidence for stone-facing appears on the inner face, while gaps at the north-west and south-east suggest former entrances. Parts of the bank are incorporated into a field boundary, and the interior remains under grass.
